MINI EVENT: LEPRECHAUN MADNESS

PROMPTS


A. Pranks and misfortune. April Fool's is coming in a little early with one group of leprechauns with yellow caps running around causing pranks all over. From minor "shoelaces suddenly tied" to "paint falling from scaffolding," anything goes with them. In doing so, they are spreading some bad luck which can be countered a few ways. Those who participate in the pranking will be seen as an ally to this group and won't be pranked on. In addition, those who wear any amount of green on them will be spared from more severe pranks.

  1. Finding good luck. Are you one of the unlucky souls who has been pranked? Try to find some ways to get rid of the bad luck that goes along with it by finding four leaf clovers, finding some rabbits that are willing to let you rub their feet, doing some good deeds around town, etc. As long as you believe it’ll help with the luck, it should work. But you have to actually believe that it will work.

  2. Pranking around. Or perhaps you’re one of the ones doing the pranking in the first place! The yellow caps won’t stop you if you decide to join them in pranking people. The more pranking, the merrier!

  3. Prank war.. For some, the best part of being pranked is retaliation. There’s nothing stopping people from escalating this into a full-on prank war. Counter pranking is welcomed and encouraged–just be aware that the leprechauns will escalate in their pranks as well.


B. Shoemakers. Another group of leprechauns sporting blue hats are hoping to start their own business in town, specifically in the shoe making and repair business. They are quite skilled in their work and will happily take custom orders so long as materials are provided as they start preparing more general stock for the ever growing populace. However some freshly are recruited apprentices are a bit too zealous in their work.

  1. New shoes. New shoes are all the rage this month, and everyone is managing to snag a pair without even trying! How lucky! Or perhaps not so lucky. With or without permission, shoes are being redesigned and altered to a "flashy, fresh" new look, and while some are earnest in their endeavors to match the style to the owner, some take their artistic liberties to the extreme. To make matters more complicated, some even try to add some magic to give an extra "lift" to one's step. As in, making them fly or run fast. Some yellow caps are also interfering by casting bad luck on the shoes, making them more prone to trip, step on things, or making them feel too heavy to lift.

  2. Stolen shoes. No craft is without its fans. And where there are fans, there are superfans who will go to any lengths to acquire a collection of trinkets to show off. These shoe superfans are grabbing shoes wherever they can find them: people’s homes, store fronts, right off of people’s feet. Whether a victim, someone trying to return the shoes, or trying to convince the over zealous fans to stop, it's chaos. To make matters worse, somehow this "superfan zeal" is contagious and if someone isn't careful, they might end up trying to join in the craze and take some shoes for themselves.


C. Pot-O-Gold. The green clad bearded men are well known for their greed, with legends telling of their gold kept in special pots that appear at the end of the rainbow. And what luck that rainbows are appearing all over the place with the weather! However, keeping their gold in special pots has its problems, especially when the rainbows they were hidden under decide to move around. Should favor be gained by these leprechaun, they may consider sharing their gold.

  1. Catch the rainbow. The leprechauns are out looking for their pots of gold and are being quite aggressive about it, shouting at anyone who happens to have a rainbow above their homes or is playing in the colorful rainbows. Some rainbows are actually floating away with that pot of gold attached to it. How does one wrangle a rainbow? Hint, they like to stay in sunny, warm places.

  2. Found a pot, now what? Should anyone stumble upon the pot, it's better to leave it alone or immense misfortune will fall upon them like a curse. What kind of curse will vary (ie, up to the player). Securing and helping the distressed leprechaun, on the other hand, will bring about immense wealth and will improve relations with this group. So what choice will the finder make? Just beware…being around the gold for too long might make them start feeling a little greedy.

  3. Protect the gold! Alternatively, you can gain favor with the leprechauns by preventing other would-be treasure hoarders from carrying the gold away themselves. According to the leprechauns, the gold should be protected by any means necessary. Stop those thieves, or risk becoming one!!


D. Red Cones v. Red Caps. There is a smaller contingent of leprechauns who don special red coned shaped hats that can actually be used as a weapon. They prefer to live out on the edges of the Wildlands near the Cliffs, however the Redcaps have been bothering them and so they seek to recruit any who wish to help aid them in a glorious battle between the small men.

  1. Recruiting fighters. In the name of wanting to be left the hell alone, the Red Cones are recruiting strong fighters who are willing to stand up to the Redcaps and convince them to stop their pestering once and for all. Taller fighters are especially in demand, all the better to tower over their enemies menacingly and whatnot.

  2. Way of the Coned Hat. A select few fighters for the Red Cones will be trained in the secrets of their hat weapons. With the proper infusion of magical (read: dreamotion) energy and the proper incantation, they can be launched at enemies like tiny red rockets. The incantation varies from hat to hat depending on its owner, so players are encouraged to be creative with the magic words needed to set these projectiles flying.



[Mod Note: Details on this mini event can be found here and we request all thread submissions to be made here. The leprechauns from the mini event will last throughout the entire month, with their appearances spaced out to suit whatever time best fits the players.]

[Hilda notes the lack of décor as she follows Sana into the treehouse.]

Did you just get here? I remember my place looking a lot like this when I first arrived. Actually, it was worse. We had to clean all the treehouses out, and there were these giant bugs and it was just. Ew.

[Hilda shudders with the memory. Not only was it gross, but she had to work. It was the worst.]

[He can always tell the longing and ache Aether has to find his sister. How it burns and hurts in his eyes. If only Venti could fix that all for him in a swish of a finger. But that has always been beyond the grasp of even an archon.]

It must be quite the comfort to know that she's safe, thus far.

[He reassures Aether with that as best he can.]

No matter where this dream may lead us, even if there are other possibilities to the ending we can see, I think you should take that as a comfort and a hope.

[But what in Celestia's name is a Harbinger doing here...?]

[He stands and pats his knees.]

Would you like me to leave?

[Everything will come with time and that is something Aether understands well. Thoma has already gave him much more than he would have ever expected considering their situation. He can't help but feel immensely grateful.

Then his friend points out that the rainbow is now gone. Aether turns around and looks at the sky to see for himself.]


Ah... I completely forgot about it. [He pauses, then turns back to Thoma with a small smile.] But I guess we can still go treasure hunting. Maybe luck will be on our side and we'll find a new rainbow.

[And even if they don't, it's not important. The little adventure will be perfect to get to know each other.]
startraveler: (hahaha)

[The meaning of their names is indeed lost on him, but he can definitely see that Miss Christine is a fitting name for this cat. Aether kneels down to get a better look at her, but doesn't approach. Phantom did say she would approach him if she wishes to do so.]

Hello, Miss Christine.

[He's almost tempted to try meowing, but it feels somewhat embarrassing to do in the presence of the quiet man and the leprechaun.]

[His evasion doesn't go unnoticed, so she's adding that to her new list of "things Somnus is vague about" which she suspects will get very long.]

My world at peace... it's a complicated thing. The work doesn't end just because the fighting stops. It's been ruined by war for 300 years. Ideally, I want to see people learning how to work together, to help instead of harm. True peace won't come until every human being lives in equal standing, without the right or the power to persecute another.

[Well, if that doesn't sound serious. Kisara opens her mouth to respond, but a volley of projectiles comes flying out from the opposition, so with a shout meant to intimidate (sorry miss, but she's aiming it at the Red Caps) she slams her shield down on the ground, and a huge wall of blue light bursts outwards in all directions, blocking the whole round and sending them flying back to their attackers. There's a noisy scuffle as they deal with the fallout, causing a temporary retreat.

With a tired huff, Kisara steps back and glances towards her again.]


That ought to buy us some quiet. [Which means her voice can quiet as well, growing gentle.] Do... you mind if I ask why you wanted to disappear?
sermom: (78)

im so proud of them

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-21 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her smile broadens at that.]

He learned to be. Migal was patient and kind, but he was still a big brother. We couldn't be expected to always get along perfectly.

[Which... is an unfortunate reminder of how they spent the final few months of his life, fighting or avoiding one another, and he probably died thinking she'd lost faith in him. Her lips purse, quietly folding another bun to distract herself. This is harder than she thought.]
sermom: (28)

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-21 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
It's hard to imagine just normal wild beasts around, isn't it? We got so used to zeugles being the most dangerous creatures on Dahna. Now we'll have a whole new list of species to learn how to fight.

[And there'd been so many zeugles already! She hopes they'll find some similarities to make it a little easier to survive.]
sermom: (74)

[personal profile] sermom 2022-03-21 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was definitely that bad, Law!]

No excuses! All you can be going forward is better. I've already gotten Alphen started. [With... mixed results, admittedly, but you have to start somewhere.] You'll help out too, won't you?

[Her tone has an edge that implies that this probably is a trick question, or at least definitely has a wrong answer.]
zephyrean: (032)

[personal profile] zephyrean 2022-03-21 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wanting to be better than he is, is definitely something Law always strives for, even if he feels like he has a long way to go. ]

Y-yes ma'am!

[Kisara's tone and choice of wording is enough to get Law to straighten up and stand at attention. But after a moment, he relaxes, as he realizes what she's saying there. ]

Wait... Help with what, exactly?

[why does he feel like he won't like this... ]

[ His helm tips slightly up, then down, in acknowledgement of the future she envisions for her world. To this, he says nothing to disparage or doubt its idealness. Ideals and hopes can only bring one so far, however. ]

And the path to such peace?
lestray: (a good laugh)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-22 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, it looks like they're being saved with help from da vine intervention! She glances over to see that tether, with surprise.]

Ya did it! Alright then, I'll bring us the last bit o' the way! [She's not sure how her gun is still firing things, but she focuses her feelings and fires! The last blast of gas brings them the last few feet over to the lampost, which she clutches onto for dear life.]

Cor, we made it!!
lestray: (thinking)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-22 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wha... Never 'eard of anytin' like that. I know I agreed to fight evil as a detective, an' I didn't get nuffin' like that for it! I gotta find out 'ow to get some deal like that for meself...
lestray: (thinking)

[personal profile] lestray 2022-03-22 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Talkin' about them leprechauns, eh? [They've been all over, so she has little doubt that's what he's referring to.]

...Maybe you got a point there. If they're real too, they probably got somefin' to do with the gold. Well I can still try to find it first, an' then see if any of 'em try to claim it!
silentends: (185)

[personal profile] silentends 2022-03-22 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
We can be friends! That way you won't have to feel lonely anymore.

Wouldn't that be better? Everyone here can see you too.

[He's just ready to adopt Sana isn't he???]
keystaff: (In the East)

[personal profile] keystaff 2022-03-22 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure yet if it's sad or more comforting that I'm not the only one. But. Everything will be alright!

[Whether or not Sakura herself notices, in not really having practiced with this dreamotion, but it does get a little brighter around her as she smiles. Reciting her Invincible Spell. Her optimistic belief that things will work out somehow, eventually.]

But that is good you have her here! I'm sure she would be lonely too, would miss you as well. So that's wonderful you have each other.

I know about technology.

[Somewhat. A little. As in the fact that it exists. Inventions of a sort. After all, the thing that keeps the Grandcypher afloat is something related to technology. It isn't magic. The sky doesn't work on magic.]

They seem... [Once again he pauses as he carefully keeps his eyes out for those things.] ...to have their own will. As if they are creatures instead of an invention.

[The words leave his mouth in a bit of a difficult way. As if he is not used to speak so many words at once.]
starshower: (temp 226)

[personal profile] starshower 2022-03-22 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Follow me then.

[Protest all they like, Tifa's sure this is the best idea for them all. At least it'll keep them outside the town for the most part when all this is over too, so less leprechauns to bother everyone else and less people to bother them. It's a win-win for everyone!

Except as Tifa leads the way to the outskirts of the town towards the riverbank, there is a protest that comes from somewhere above. A quick one that she hardly has any time to register—

"Thief!"

—before she hears the tell-tale clinking of the gold coins and the footsteps of someone running off in the same direction...!]
sciencesquid: (That is one swirly tentacle)

[personal profile] sciencesquid 2022-03-22 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[At those words, the tentacle's pincer opens up again, revealing a bright red light in the center. It functions like an eyeball; a particularly creepy one. As for Otto, he just smiles.]

A mind... is easy enough to simulate with technology. All it takes is the right kind of equipment.

[The trick is to hook it up to your own mind, but Otto's not about to let that trade secret slip. It's far too easy for someone to use that against him.]
professorbestie: (Strained smile)

[personal profile] professorbestie 2022-03-22 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He smiles wryly, shaking his head a bit. It's true that he would miss Susato dearly, but he can't say for certain whether it'd be the same the other way around.]

Oh... I'm certain Susato would be just fine without me. She's seventeen years old now, and has already traveled to distant lands without my guidance before. Even so, I do appreciate the opportunity to keep an additional eye on her.
brokenlight: fanart, please PM for credit ((142) Who is there for him)

[personal profile] brokenlight 2022-03-22 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but maybe a bit concerned yourself?

[He blinks at him.]

Did you get caught up in the pranks, too?
brokenlight: ((009) Had a voice)

[personal profile] brokenlight 2022-03-22 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[He does follow after Aether.

Fortunately, there's a water fountain available for them to use.]
startraveler: (optimistic)

[personal profile] startraveler 2022-03-22 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[It helps that the fountain is so close.]

I guess we can us this to clean you up.

[Hopefully water will do the trick.]

Did they surprise you with the paint attack? Or was that a trap?
allegedprisoner: (and at six on the dot)

[personal profile] allegedprisoner 2022-03-23 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Pots of gold? Wait, what are you planning to do with a pot of gold?!
